Bollywood Gossip: Filmmaker Prakash Jha, buoyed by success of his Bollywood movie Rajneeti, is enamoured with Mahabharat. Yes.. Thats correct!! Prakash Jha seems to have rolled up his sleeves once again for his magnum opus ‘Draupadi’ which seems to be an adaption of the great Indian epic story Mahabharata.Initially, Prakash Jha planned to cast Madhuri Dixit as the leading role for the hindi version but it didnt work. Now, he plans to do the same but in an English Version while casting the hottest Hollywood Actress Angelina Jolie in his mind.
While speaking to the news agencies a few days back, Prakash Jha commented “‘Draupadi’ is the ultimate tribute to womanhood. I’ve wanted to make it for years. Yes, Madhuri was my choice earlier. But now I’m going to make it as an international film with an international cast on a budget that would make the film a grand epic.”
“The actors have to be exotic in their features since my ‘Draupadi’ would be set in the mountains. If you’ve seen Peter Brooks’s celebrated stage adaptation of the Mahabharata it starred Mallika Sarabhai who does have exquisite features,” Prakash Jha added.
Do you this ‘Draupadi’ would be a movie worth watching? Share your comments below:
